A 22-year-old man, Liam Johnson, who weighed 419kg (66st), died on Thursday, March 20, 2014 when paramedics were unable to revive him
Johnston was carried out on a bed frame after firefighters removed his front door to make room. He is believed to have died of heart failure.
About a dozen firefighters were called to help move his body from his home in Livingston, West Lothian. They had to knock down a wall, remove the front door and part of a garden fence to get him out and into an ambulance.
Police have ruled out foul play and said a full report on his death will be sent to the procurator fiscal.
Johnson was a recluse and believed to be Britain’s most obese person, reports the Metro.
He reportedly had a body mass of well over 85 – anything more than 30 is obese.
Last year, he was convicted of using stolen credit cards to order four pizzas and put on a waiting list to have gastric band surgery.
Mr Johnston, of Livingston, West Lothian, said at the time: ‘I hid myself away from the outside world, ashamed at the size I had become.’
